Mining Capital Coin CEO, Luiz Capuci Jr. Accused of $62M Cryptocurrency Scam
Mining Capital Coin CEO Luiz Capuci Jr. has been indicted by the US Department of Justice for running a huge cryptocurrency fraud operation. Capuci faces up to 45 years in jail after being charged with multiple offenses such as wire fraud, money laundering, and securities fraud.
Authorities in the United States think Capuci and others conspired to defraud $62 million from investors. However, as previously indicated, cryptocurrency mining and trading were not the primary goals of Mining Capital Coin’s investments.
He informed investors that the company possesses a large network of mining operations capable of generating constant revenue. Capuci notified potential investors that the company’s trading bots had been created by top programmers from around the world. According to federal investigators, Mining Capital Coin was a conventional pyramid scheme.
Investors contributed nothing to any of the aforementioned initiatives. Capuci is suspected of utilizing stolen funds to fund his bitcoin accounts instead of fulfilling the company’s obligations.
